MaPSTeDI is a collaborative effort between the University of Colorado
Museum, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and Denver Botanic
Gardens to convert their separate collections into one distributed
biodiversity database and research toolkit for the southern and
central Rockies and adjacent plains. Linked with GIS mapping tools
and available via the Internet, this database will allow researchers
and the public to easily track changes in biodiversity in this area
over the last century.

Dept of Natural Resources free Tool that allows download from Garmin
to ArcView GIS. This extension was built to provide users the ability
to directly transfer data between ArcView 3.x GIS and Garmin GPS
handheld receivers. Using this extension a user can use point features
(graphics or shapefile) and upload them to the GPS as WayPoints.
Line and Polygon Graphics or shapes can be uploaded to the GPS as
TrackLogs or Routes. Conversely, WayPoints, TrackLogs, and Routes
collected using the GPS can be transferred directly to ArcView and
saved as Graphics or Shapefiles.
